Recognizing the Unrecognizable: The State of Palestine
Written by Husam DughmanBy Husam Dughman
An unmarried Libyan man was once asked why he had not got married yet. Aware that his precarious financial situation did not allow him to bear the cost of having a family, he replied, “Does a sinking truck hook up a trailer?” That retort somewhat conjures up Israel’s bafflement at those who advocate for a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza following the horrific terrorist attacks of the 7th of October. Like the above-mentioned Libyan man, the Israelis are perplexed by the strange logic of those who support a two-state solution. The Israelis must be thinking, “What? Do you think that after we granted Gaza self-governance and withdrew from it completely in return for which we only got terrorist attacks culminating in the atrocities of the 7th of October, that we should now allow for the emergence of a second hell to be unleashed on us?”

Right in the centre of Tehran stands a clock calculating the countdown to the time when the state of Israel is to be completely extinguished. Since 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has always expressed its uncompromising intention of destroying the Jewish state. One is at a loss to find another contemporary example of unabashed genocidal plans.
For thousands of years, the Jews and the Persians (Iran was called “Persia” until the 1930s when the name of the country was changed to “Iran”) had mostly civil relations. It was in fact the Persian King Cyrus the Great who freed the Jews from the Babylonian Captivity in the 6th century BC following his conquest of Babylon. This led to the Jews’ returning to their ancestral homeland and the subsequent rebuilding of the Jewish Temple after Solomon’s Temple had been destroyed by the Babylonians half a century or so earlier. For this, Cyrus the Great is mentioned with honour in ancient Jewish scripture (e.g., Isaiah 44:28, 45:13; Ezra 1:2).

Newcomers to Canada go through various stages as they try to grapple with the realities of the new country. The first is the honeymoon stage where they are excited to be in Canada and feel a tremendous deal of enthusiasm. The second is one of disillusion, frustration, and anger when newcomers realize that Canada and its job prospects are not what they had expected; they find themselves either jobless or working in minimum-wage survival jobs in spite of having university degrees and extensive professional experiences in their countries of origin. The third is the recovery stage where they feel able to achieve certain significant things, but not all that they had in mind when they first came to Canada. The fourth and last stage is one of adaptation where newcomers try their best to create harmony between themselves and Canada.

I visited Tunisia for the first time in 1993. I visited it again in 2000. I was impressed. Unlike other countries of MENA (the Middle East and North Africa), Tunisia seemed to have all of the ingredients of a nation that was well on its way to creating and sustaining a developed, progressive, and tolerant society. From its independence in 1956 to the late 1980s, that country was run by Al Habib Bourguiba, the enlightened leader of Tunisia’s movement of independence from France and the founder of modern Tunisia.
